Also, the MAMP documentation for working with WordPress that pertained to my situation is only available in German. I actually read German fairly well, but it is laborious for me to translate it and again, it is incomplete and missing important steps for a noob like myself. So perhaps I will also contribute my original English-language documentation to the MAMP project, rather than try to translate someone else’s German.

Thank you.

After careful experimentation, the correct syntax for me is:

https://localhost:8888/wp-content/uploads/…

I believe I will write up and document the entire process I had to go through to clone my WordPress site to my local Mac using MAMP. The documentation and instructions that I have been able to find on the WordPress Codex and other places have been inadequate because there are many procedural steps that are left out or not explained explicitly for someone like me who has never done any work with phpMyAdmin before.

Thanks, Otto. I changed the string in

wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php

back to what it was originally.

I went into my GoDaddy hosting control and changed from php 4 to php 5.

Everything seems to work correctly now.

Thank you. I’m a total newbie when it comes to .php code, so I do need help. And I have never used the bug tracking system here before, so thanks for posting for me.

Status:

The WordPress site runs and the outside world can see it, but I still cannot log in and perform any admin functions.

Sorry, Rich, we’re out of sync here.

I found the correct file, and modified the correct string, and once I did that, i tried to log back in and I got a second error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479

Now that I have edited that line, I get a second error on trying to log in:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘&’, expecting T_VARIABLE or ‘$’ in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1479

Disregard

I have looked at your link and modified the string it indicates.

Yes, PHP 4.x

I’m hosted by Godaddy.

I cannot log in, so how can I deactivate anything?

Thanks, iridiax. I’m back up and running.

It’s so easy to fix when you know how.
